There are the songs
Step by step guides
Pour amore. Formulaic
Algorithms, hearts,
Just simple functions.
Human hearts don’t
Work that way.
Intense complexities.
Love’s quest often
Maddeningly murky.
Love entails risk
Confessing our
Passion, perhaps
Unreturned. Painfully
Raw moments.
Torture one’s psyche,
Contort our minds beyond
Recognition, seeking a path
Defined by fear’s engorged
Demands
Glorious sunrise
Tranquillity’s brilliant
Spectacle renews.
Mists flowing through trees
Compelled by wind’s urging.
Rivulets descend the glass
Warping these trees I view.
Refraction’s coloration divine.
Sunlight glitters upon them,
Moments flickering through
Greyness, cloudy murk
Defines my land. White
Farmhouse upon the hill
Calls to me, wondering
Where I’ve journeyed, the
Familiar seeps into my
Bones. Salvation.
Burgers delight me
Yet there are limits for me
Pickles are evil
Two beautiful hearts
Connecting upon a song
Beating in tandem.
Upon this odd hour
My mind flutters gracefully
Over bright flowers.
Cower not, fearful of love.
Rejection’s burn isn’t so brutal
As to remain empty of love’s
Brilliant warmth.
“Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.” — Seneca
This tidbit is perhaps more relevant than ever. As we come up against our planet’s ability to support, this rings louder than ever.
What does a sustainable society look like? Where each person has enough, greed is eliminated. Without greed, we remove exploitation. A society built upon mutual respect and love. Where we each feel inspired to give our very best for each other. Love. We develop a healthy relationship with our food. Love.
How do we get to a world with no poverty?
Dreaming in daylight.
Seeking suffering’s ending.
Our primary force: love.
Always seek the sun
Sunlight through the clouds
Longing to be found.
